Accidents at the Workplace



Accidents can occur anywhere but they are especially likely to occur in crowded places where people are
very occupied and distracted over the millions things they need to do. Not following certain basic procedures
like keeping the floor clean can influence the number of accidents at the workplace. Many times accidents can and should be prevented. If it has been raining for example, someone at work should be responsible for making sure the floor is not slippery because somebody could fall, get injured and even break something! Safety is not something to be taken lightly.

But sometimes no matter how careful you are, accidents happen and you just have to deal with it. Maybe somebody is walking without paying attention and they crash against someone else, or perhaps they missed the glass door and bumped into it. That’s actually a very common incident and sometimes the person can get seriously hurt and even break the glass door!

A serious business cannot simply have a broken glass door for several days. If something like that happens, it needs to be fixed immediately because otherwise, it might just lead to more accidents. Especially if it is the front door, a glass specialist should be contacted immediately.

When a glass door or window break in an office, the person responsible should call a reliable glass company to show up on the same day and resolve the situation. Good, reliable companies offer same day service because they know real emergencies can’t wait, and clearly, broken glass falls in that category!

The Elegance of Crystal Plaques



Maybe you are not a Hollywood movie star, maybe you are not a Fortune 500 CEO but can you imagine your name on a crystal plaque reading: Best Mom Ever? That’s the prize I aim for everyday and my fictional accolade is always my name ‘’Monica Kroos’’ carved elegantly on a crystal plaque. All kidding aside, there are several materials on which one could write practically anything as long as the character count would fit in the space of the piece.

Perhaps the most common materials on which people write are: wood, metal, crystal and marble. They are all very elegant and perhaps the least durable is the glass option but there is an intangible aspect to its fragility that makes me choose it above the rest of the pack. Crystal is also shapeable which means that you can mold glass into many things. The most common examples are statues, sculptures and bottles.

Whenever the issue of vulnerability arises, a lot of people particularly elderly ladies will recommend the super glue option, however, in our modern times you can opt for a glass replacement company. They can certainly replicate your piece and make it look identical. Always remember the sentimental value of awards or name tags; they are given to you at one time in specific (usually once in a lifetime so even if you know you can have them replaced you certainly want to keep the original one for the sake of uniqueness).
Another thing I love about crystal plaques or sculptures is that they are very light and therefore portable. The fact that they are so light also allows the owner to have them hung on almost any wall without fear of them breaking. Next time you’re vying for the employee of the month award, make sure you ask for a crystal plaque, that whole picture and name label is pretty played out.
